PENNSYLVANIA — With a net worth of $908 billion, Elon Musk again tops the Forbes 400, a ranking of the nation’s wealthiest billionaires that includes Jeff Yass, the richest person in Pennsylvania.
Forbes said Musk’s place at the top of its 45th annual Forbes 400 ranking shows “the wealth gap is widening, even among the ultra-rich.” Those on the ranking, released Tuesday, are worth a record $8 trillion, up from $6.6 trillion a year ago. Together, the 20 richest billionaires account for $4 trillion of the total, up from $970 billion from last year.
